The photos took a while to download, which isn't good since I'm on a really fast T1 connection. perhaps you could optimize the images to decrease their file sizes. (*Aside* the photo of the topless maternity gals in jeans was a little on the icky side. )

thanks kdla - unfortunately the clothes are not my responsibility - just the website. can say however they are doing very well indeed - look for them in a store near you!

can you expand on the icky comment - quality? nature?

interesting comment re the image size. the thubnails average around 9k while the larger images are around 20-30k? so far here in nz, the feedback has been that it loads fast - maybe something to do with the distance?? don't know.

Hmmm... could be the server usage, or something. The SITE loaded quickly, it was the images (models displayiing the clothes) that took a while. Are those being called from a database, or are they static? Could have been a server problem.

re: "icky" -- I just thought it was a weird photo, and not necessarily in the best taste; the other photos were fine, that one just really stuck out as odd; but maybe I'm just more of a prude about those types of things!

Yea "image_01.jpg" didnt load quickly for me either which is strange since its only 32.7kB, not on the massive side and the images on other pages (ie. the egg story) loaded really slowly for me (im on 2mb cable) and then on looking at clothing it was so slow i thought my connection was failing as the whole page took over a minute to load. Could be a server issue like suggested, one host i use has a similar issue, slow-ish loading pics/files and hotlinking disabled yet no problems loading html.

I can see where kdla is coming from with the pictures, personally i find skimpy dressed women showing off their stomach while pregnant not very appealing but thats fashion and how people dress nowadays!

I did like the function at the bottom right of the page to change currency on the site between AUS/NZ but the price stayed the same on the images and when clicking in to the item in the listing beside. It would be nice for you to keep this feature but just as a bit of advise beside each price even in images it may be advisable to put AUS when AUS currency selected and NZ when NZ currency option selected so customers can clearly see what currency the advertised price is being shown in so there are no legal problems or customer complaints later down the line.

hmmm... i will need to look into why those images are loading so slow for you guys. i did have a mate in arizona check for me and he seems to think all was ok.

the currency function is a work in progress - currently aust/nz prices are the same. we will be adding other currencies shortly.

again, this is not my domain - but the feedback so far re the topless images - egg have used several in the last few years - has been largely postive. we had a full height image recently in one of the stores. impact helps with fashion shots, period.

i have a feeling views may differ a little from hemisphere to hemisphere however??
